Custom zoom level

Figma newbie here,

Say I’m designing an iPhone app, and I know that with my specific display, around 80% zoom level in Figma is the right size compared to the physical size of the phone. While working, I’ll zoom in and out without much care for exactness, but every now and then I’d like to jump to the precise value of 80% zoom to check the text sizes and whatnot.

The only way I know of doing this is clicking the zoom input in the top-right corner, typing in 80 and then Return. Not exactly terrible, but still annoying if repeated dozens or hundreds of times a day.

Is there a way to create a shortcut for custom zoom levels? If not, any other alternatives?

    This is a must have feature. All productive work depends a lot off 2 or 3 levels of zoom. Having at least two custom ones is essential.

    MAYBE SOLUTION:

    SHIFT+Z is the same as just Z. So, why not allow to customize SHIFT+Z to a prefered percentage? Or even Z if window zoom is generally less used.

    And, since it’s so used and constantly changed, SHIFT+ALT+Z could pop up a window to define the new custom zoom level.

    Lets hope it gets to Figma soon.

    Thanks

      This is the best way to solve this kind of problem.

      Custom zoom levels would be ideal, but I’d be pretty happy if 75% were added to the zoom presets. I’m constantly needing something between 100% and 50%. How difficult can it be, Figma?
